Am I Healing?

[Glutenfreefamily]

I have been glutened twice by accident. Both times I had some obvious symptoms mainly horrible brain fog and feeling stupid for a few hours but not near as bad as before where I had to run to the bathroom for hours on end. I have always read that your symptoms get worse when you are gluten free after a while. My household is gluten free completely and my whole family is gluten free. The only thing if I am getting glutened slightly and not realizing it would be lays potato chips ( regular bag not stax) and Im not as sensitive to it as I should be.

I have not been tested yet but my symptoms are obvious. Im trying to heal and avoid any other foods that might trigger intolerances and I stick to whole foods most of the time, its rare I eat a chip here and there.

Did anyone else's symptoms become less to being glutened after going gluten free? I feel like I should be thankful that during accidental glutening that I am not as bad but Im concerned Im not healing.

My reactions to gluten are still pretty bad, but they are not nearly as bad as before I went gluten-free. So, it can go both ways.

Thank you It puts my mind at ease.

Hi! I've actually found that my symptoms are milder in the past year when I get glutened than before, I've been gluten-free for about three years. It's apparently unusual to have milder symptoms after you've been gluten-free for a while, but not unheard of. Also, how long have you been gluten-free? If it's only been a month or two then you won't be sure yet how you'll react a year from now, or five years.

Thanks Its been about fifteen months since I went gluten free.
